- The python code uses the variable 'arch' to denote the CPU
  manufacturer, not the CPU architecture as such, but the existing code
  needs to repond differently on Intel and AMD x86 platforms.
- Remove the binary choice of CPU architecture that is "AMD" or "Intel".
- First, determine the processor architecture.
- If the architecture is "x86", determine if the CPU is an Intel or an
  AMD processor.
- If the architecture is "ARM", define the manufacturer as "ARM" as
  there could be many variants but we do not know what differences, if
  any, we need to take into account.
- Define values for 'SecureBootEnable' and 'SR_IOVSupport'.
- These are the only two keys that Arm-based servers have in common with
  AMD- or Intel-based servers.
